My LC called her a "let down" junkie

murrr23 · October 2008

Sam was fussing at the breast after 5 minutes. I called the LC and explained it to her. She eats well and fast when my milk lets down, but gets frustrated when it slows and has to do some work to get more. She literally beats on my chest. The LC called her a let down junkie who only wants milk at full speed. Argh. Anyone else have this problem?

Ean will do that sometimes. Drives me bonkers. He started kneading my boobs, like a kitten. It's hilarious, but it solved the problem. I also help out a little by doing breast compressions.

Yep there isn't much you can other than continuing to offer the nipple, my let down is pretty quick but I usually go through 2 let downs in a feeding and he will get frustrated during that second let down because it takes a little longer than the first.

Yeah, Ethan gets frustrated too.

sophie whines and fusses in the beginning when she has to work for the letdown but is instantly quiet when she gets the letdown. mine is so strong though she ends up pulling away spraying it all over the place

Wyatt would beat on my breasts around Samantha's age but now he grabs with both hands and kind of kneads/rubs them. I make sure to massage them before feeding him.
